Rapid Prototyping Software

Rapid prototyping technology is a new multidisciplinary integrated manufacturing technology involved. After the 1980s, with the application of computer-aided design, product modeling and design capabilities greatly improved, however, after the completion of product design, pre-production, the samples must be made to express the design ideas, get feedback fast product design, product design and feasibility assessment, demonstration. In an increasingly competitive market today, the time is effective. In order to improve the market competitiveness of products, from product development to mass production of the whole process are urgently required to reduce costs and increase speed. A rapid prototyping technology, provides an effective way to solve this problem, much domestic and foreign attention.
　　It refers to the original prototype model simulation of a product is often used in other industries. Software development prototype is an early version of the software can be run, which reflects the important characteristics of the final system.
　　Also known as rapid prototyping model prototype model, which is another form of incremental model; it was prior to the development of the real system, construct a prototype, based on the prototype, and gradually complete the development of the entire system. For example, a customer needs ATM machine software, can be designed to contain only a card, password check, data input and prototype software for printing bills to customers, at this time does not include a network database access and a data processing emergency, fault handling service. The first step is to build rapid prototype model of a rapid prototyping, or to achieve customer interaction, users or customers and future users of the prototype evaluation system, needs to be further refined to develop software. By gradually adjust the prototype to meet the customer's requirements, what the real needs of developers can determine the customer is; the second step is the development of software products in the customer satisfaction on the basis of the first step.
